Steps

  1. Take the meat out and season it right away. No need to bring it to room temperature.

  2. Preheat the air fryer to 100°C (212°F) for 10 minutes.

  3. Stand the meat on its side, place it in the air fryer, and cook for 20 minutes. (The rule of thumb is 10 minutes per 1cm of thickness.)

  4. After 20 minutes, take it out, flip it, and cook for another 10 minutes. Work quickly so heat doesn't escape.

  5. Heat a frying pan on maximum heat for 2–3 minutes, add cooking oil, then place the meat in.

  6. Flip every 30 seconds for a total of 2 minutes of searing. At the 1-minute mark, add butter and herbs and baste the meat with the melted butter.

  7. Remove from pan and rest for at least 5 minutes, ideally 10–15 minutes. Skipping this step will cause all the juices to run out.
